While playing Elder Scrolls IV – Shivering Isles, I would occasionally experience lock-ups. So, if you are using an existing character from Oblivion, I would recommend leaving behind your horse prior to entering the door to Shivering Isles. This was confirmed by two situations the first was that I couldn't get past an early gate with the horse and the second, while on the island, I did not come across any other horses. However, it soon became apparent to me that I would have to abandon my horse to get around on the island. I found myself becoming easily immersed into the game content and would often become annoyed or even amused with various characters as I interacted with them.Ī few words about transportation in Elder Scrolls IV – Shivering Isles - I initially took my white horse with me into the new realm, and I really didn't encounter any problems in doing so. It was quite apparent as I played that a serious amount of time went into the development of the quests and stories contained within Elder Scrolls IV – Shivering Isles. Some of these quests will challenge you to explore your own morality (reminiscent of the classic Ultima series), and other quests will simply be errands to fetch various items.ĭespite the menial nature of several of your assignments, you will be handsomely rewarded for successfully doing the king's bidding.

You will need to figure out how to defeat the Gatekeeper of Shivering Isles to obtain the two keys to the Gates of Madness. Without disclosing too much of the storyline, I will say that you won't simply teleport to Shivering Isles you will first be challenged to prove your worthiness for the task of becoming the mad king's champion. Upon accepting the challenge, you will be rewarded with what I consider to be the best visual effect in the expansion, your transportation to the Shivering Isle. Once in the portal room you will have a conversation with the High consul of Shivering Isles, Haskell, who will lay down the storyline and give you an opportunity to accept or decline the challenge. (Note: Please read below about a possible bug which is related to starting the Shivering Isles adventure.) If you decline, you can always travel by land to the Island in Niben Bay when you are ready. If you choose to take on the new quest, you will be immediately teleported into a room which becomes the entry point into the new Shivering Isles content. As is the case with all new quests, the interface allows you to choose to switch to the new quest or to continue on your present path. After 24 hours of game time in Oblivion, you will be notified of a mysterious door appearing on an island in Niben Bay. By design, Elder Scrolls IV – Shivering Isles is integrated into Oblivion and feels like it was always there.
